Ssssshhhhhunday 2nd of December

ste2010

I'm shaking off a little bit of a hangover and too tired to make any effort whatsoever...
David pipe is sending a delegation 3 hours up the road in the last in Leicester tomorrow or a single race - Top Wood
Fancy Harry Frys in the first in Kempton amazing a guy so young is a trainer..amazing..he looks even younger than he is!
I'd fancy champagne fever to show jezki and Minsk who's the boss tomorrow
Dedigout proved his class at the end of last year in punchestown and looked good on his first chasing appearance. He should be good enough to win this but you never know what your getting with tony Martin..mind you his horses seem to strike in December if last year is anything to go by. Id like to see Buckers bridge run a big race and the fact HDB sent him straight over fences they must think loads of him in that regard!
Worries for tomorrow
VLV - twice in a year tactics have found her out. Over shorter distance tomorrow it's difficult to know whether it plays to her strengths or what condition she'll be in tomorrow
Zaidpour - trip should be just about right
Monksland - I really rate this horse but against these 2 his price is very short..

Ok I'm getting bored now

Jezki is my main bet today.

Favourite may end up a better chaser, but will take him on over 2m at the moment.

Not having a bet but probably agree with you about Champagne Fever

Also thought he jumped big first time out, the type to make a better chaser? Up against an out and out 2m type in Jezki and Minsk was also impressive beating a decent mare last time. Throw in Clonbannon Lad (who I think is an insulting price) and 6/4 Champagne looks on the skinny side win or lose

Its no secret that chasing is where he is going. Mullins talking about skipping hurdles altogether with the horse. Great race.

Minsk & Zaidpour Double for me at 11/1 plus Our Girl Salley nice single bet at 5/2

UrbanSea

Think Ruby has made the wrong choice. Would prefer So Young today

I've backed champagne fever.I agree, he jumped a bit big in cork but I'd rather that than hitting them. I too read that they were likely to go chasing with him but Mullins is hardly one to just have a runner in a grade 1 hurdle just for place money? I cannot have Zuzka Or midnight oil based on their form. Didn't like jezki's jumping technique last time out. Minsk looks the biggest threat based on his comfortable success last time out & the Hughes stable is in flying form. Cracking race in store

Same, really like Jezki. Arvika Leoginairre later too

Jezki did that comfortably. Impressive

Colonel Sanders

Think Ruby was on the best horse there no matter what but they gave him some amount of rope.

Dedigout was on and off the bridle

hucklebuck

Very impressive, will he go for Arkle or be stepped up to RSA?

He did that very easily.

Colonel Sanders

Arkle or Jewson IMO

He didn't get home in the Albert Bartlett when he travelled like a really good horse

Owner Rich Ricci said: "They went a hell of a clip and I don't think we'll have any problem dropping him back to two miles so the Arkle could be a long term target too."

Looks made for the Jewson but if it looks like a weak Arkle you could see him dropping back. Willie has Boston Bob and possibly Back In Focus for the Sun Alliance.

On the subject of Boston Bob looks like we might see him in a beginners chase next Sunday according to Willie's RP column today

TheMilkyPirate

Money coming strong for Zaidpour.

TheMilkyPirate

Go on ruby yeeeooooowwww!!!!

Shark Hanlon actually had a winner that wasn't Hidden Cyclone. Weak race there but a winner on the board is a winner on the board

Murchu was a decent bumper performer. Watched that race & thought the middle horse had won on line

I certainly didn't think Murchu was up either

Colonel Sanders

Nice double for Mark Enright too, good to see someone other than the Walsh's McCoy's & Geraghty's getting their share of the spotlight

good call on jeski. I assume champagne fever will go for the neptune now.. unless they are rethinking the chasing option
